62 Wedding Guests Who Somehow Made Someone Else’s Big Day About Themselves
Beyond the theatre, weddings are often the best place to witness high drama. We usually hear about stressed-out couples losing their cool, but this time, let’s flip the script and shine the spotlight on guests who refuse to let anyone else have their special moment.
Bored Panda has gathered the wildest and craziest stories from across the web, and these aren’t your average wedding slip-ups. We’re not just talking about someone wearing a white dress or giving a bad toast.
The sheer entitlement in these stories is off the charts. For example, one guest pulled out full Tupperware sets at the reception to pack away food for the week. Another insisted on bringing their cats to the event.
Scroll down, marvel at how unhinged people can be, and find out what it really takes to end up on the ultimate guest hall of shame.

That is actually battery, and possible criminal ássault and/or poisoning. I'd press charges. Atívan is a benzó and that óverdóse could have kílled her.

"I Just Thought Your Wedding Was The Perfect Place For My Child's Birthday Party"
Elladine DesIsles 3 hours ago (edited)
My son's first birthday was spent at my cousin's wedding. We simply celebrated on a different day. I'm sure it was mentioned in quiet conversation with relatives at the reception ("He's getting so big, how old is he?", "Actually, he is one today," that sort of thing; 14 years later I don't remember any specifics), but did not distract from the event in any way. If it had been a more distant relative getting married, or if I had felt it extremely important to have a party on the day itself, I would have sent regrets to the wedding, not hijacked it!

It's not difficult to just write some platitude on there. If you can't think of one, just Google some examples. Ana is (presumably) not in middle school and writing in her BFFFFFFF's yearbook.

When A Guest Brings Their Own Confetti That Not Only Doesn't Match Yours But Violates Your Venue Contract
Lukas (he/him) 2 hours ago
This one popped up a few days ago- OP and their now wife made confetti out of leaves and dried flowers they'd saved throughout their relationship, as well as more flower petals, so it was completely natural. An aunt made extra confetti, in white tissue paper. (not one of their colors) and passed it out. The venue didn't allow confetti, they only allowed OP's because it was all natural. Their brother, brother in law, and cousin all had to pick it up (OP didn't notice until they were done and bought them gifts as a thank you).

Rude Guest Insults Bride Because He Doesn’t Know How To Use The Online RSVP System And She Didn’t Respond To His Message Instantly (Swipe)
LakotaWolf (she/her) 3 hours ago
OP had said that they sent out RSVP cards, with the RVSP/info website listed on them. This guest emailed asking if he could RSVP by email. OP said, "I wanted to tell him just to refer to the RSVP card, but I didn't know how to answer him, so I didn't answer his email for 5 days. Then he sent me this second email. I am mad as hell!" Actually, you both súck XD It shouldn't take you five days to figure out how to reply back with "Please refer back to the RSVP card you received."

Mil Steals Hair Stylist So Bride Has To Do Her Own. Woof…
LakotaWolf (she/her) 3 hours ago
No, you don't need to hire a second person to handle other peoples' needs. You march over to the hair stylist and say, "I'm the bride, I paid for your services, please complete my hair first." Even better if MIL is in the middle of having her hair done and has to sit there with cráp in her hair.

Bringing An Uninvited Dog To Your Sister's Wedding
LakotaWolf (she/her) 3 hours ago
You guys know I love dogs. I'm a dog person. I'm so much a dog person that I'm literally a wolf. My dogs eat better food than I do. I'd do anything for them. But I would NEVER take them to a wedding unless it was my own wedding. Or their own weddings. Or another dog's wedding where all the guests are dogs. Actually, Fenring loves his buddy Riker so much that maybe I should hold a dog wedding...

My Husband And I Chose To Have A Simple Cheap Wedding Due To Both Going Through University
Most of the guests loved the relaxed daytime atmosphere of being at a park and being surrounded by friends and family.
But we had issues with one guest. A former close friend. First he showed up late and we held the wedding until he arrived so he wouldn't miss out. He later complained of the cheapness of the wedding, stating "it doesn't cost enough to be a real wedding". He made a few other remarks we tried to ignore. Until I was informed he was trying to invite my friends to a karaoke night at a random pub that night and didn't want to invite my husband or I. We asked him about it and he said he didn't think we would mind him hanging with our friends and that we shouldn't join them because we should be with family instead. He proceeded to get angry that I was being over emotional due to saying that I was upset as we had plans that evening with everyone already and that I personally found it rude to try and convince guests to hang out with him instead during our wedding without inviting or consulting us first.
Am I in the wrong for being upset with him for trying to change my wedding night plans on the day?
Conversations were done in the same regard as work guidelines, in private to prevent shaming, no visible anger, emotion or raised voices and to just state the facts as I knew them and how they made me feel.

We Are Holding A Pretty Big Budget Wedding (£55k+) In A Hcol Where Most Of Our Friends Live
We went out of our way to throw an amazing party in a convenient location, with top range entertainment, food and design. Now, a close friend of my FH decided not to attend because his partner "can't be in the same room" as a person he once slept with. Granted, the whole thing happened under dubious circumstances, but it was over 4 years ago and wasn't an issue until recently. The person he slept with is now married. The reason they are giving is that a few more people than they realised know now, something that came to light a week ago. There is close to 100 people attending and this friend has know us for close to 8 years, pretty much the whole time we've been together. I am pissed off but there is nothing I can do.
Edit: I understand my feelings about this news were unreasonable, I appreciate the comments Redditors made to highlight that the guests are not making this about them but just avoiding an awkward situation. I did not say anything to my guests except “okay, let me know if you change your mind”. I posted this to vent about the situation. Some of the comments have come for me really harshly for assumptions they made about me. Perhaps the wrong sub for this kind of content. I’ll be deleting this post in a week or so for mental health reasons. For those who were respectful and courteous, thank you for your perspective.
